There is some street parking as well as some paid ramps. I came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM. By then, it was busy, but I was able to still find a seat. The staff were kind and I think as pleased with the number of drink options as well as pastries - gluten free, too! I enjoyed a seasonal lemon bar latte (yum!) and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. I will likely be back. The coffee is great, the parking situation is just a bit weird.

It's funny how poor customer service completely changes your attitude towards a business you used…read moreto enjoy. I used to live in the area and when the small coffee shop opened I was so exited to have that in our community and was happy to support them - even if some coffee beverages were top dollar. I was in the area today, and decided to stop in since I no longer live in the area and wanted to enjoy a good brew. Unfortunately, the experience I had left me leaving with a bitter taste in my mouth - and it wasn't from the coffee. I thought it goes without saying, but when a customer greets you, you should greet them back, not just stare. It would be even better if your staff would greet each customer first - make them feel welcome. Maybe I'm a millennial channeling boomer energy, but for years I'm noticing the customer service disappearing from a lot of businesses. I love that connection, but I'm understanding that some people see only a paycheck and skid by with minimal customer service and that is the new way. I don't plan to visit this establishment again. I wish the barista with star tattoos would have put in enough customer service energy that she did with her impeccable makeup.

Delicious and Fresh Crepes in Eagan! Our crepes were all delicious. I enjoyed my snack sized…read moreNutella crepe, and hubby liked his meal sized La Complete Savory Crepe. Conveniently located in the Eagan Outlet Mall. Park at the center of the large parking ramp for shortest walking distance. Service was excellent. Only the chef/owner seemed to be working when we stopped in, but he was so professional and friendly. He was helping another customer when we walked in, but he made sure to acknowledge us to assure us he would help us in a couple of minutes. It was fun to see our crepes made fresh. Ambiance was cozy, modern and cute. I think this was the former Starbucks location, so the floors and layout were perfect for a crepe spot.

The parking was a little confusing and I chose to park in a ramp close to the hotel. There were not many other customers at the time of ordering and I chose the matcha. My drink was very tasty and fairly priced. In addition, the service was very friendly and timely. We chose to enjoy our drinks on a nearby walking trail.

Next time I'm visiting I will for sure come here.

Love that! I went with the milk chocolate since I never tried it. Came to $3.95 which is a great price for what I was getting. Didn't know what to expect but it wasn't what I got. At first it tasted like a regular yummy hot chocolate and then I got a delicious after taste of the best tasting chocolate. SO FREAKIN GOOD!!!!!! You can tell they use good stuff. Not sure if I'll have a chance to go back but if I do, definitely need to try the dark chocolate version. Two thumbs up from me.

We were able to quickly and easily place an order for a couple of lattes and brunch bowls. The place had a a lot of cool artwork and plenty of inside seating and even a patio!

While this place is relatively small (as one would expect a hole-in-the-wall donut shop to be), they've made impressive use of the space, as there's plenty of tables and chairs to sit at (even a couple on the outside of the establishment, for warmer temperature seasons than presently, aha). It was clean and modern. The employee working behind the counter was friendly and matched my enthusiastic energy, which was appreciated. There didn't seem to be a huge selection of donut varieties available (though I was also there after 11am, which might have something to do with that... this place is open until noon or until they run out of product, whichever comes first), but plenty enough to give me difficulty choosing which to get! All the donuts/baked goods seemed to be priced at $2.50 each. Not an outrageous sum, though more than I'd like... I fear the days of the $1 donut are nothing but a distant memory nowadays. Anyway, I grabbed two donuts and went on my merry way home. The employee put them in a nice wax paper coated baggie. The flavor of the donuts was good. Not addictively incredible, but yummy. There's a decent chance I'll be stopping by in the future simply because this place is along a route I typically take for running errands, and my sweet tooth may compel me to "reward" myself for running said errands, hehe!
